Book Review of A Crack in the Edge of the World: America and the Great California Earthquake of 1906 (P.S.)

reviewed on


The book is supposed to be about the SF Earthquake, but is really more about the author and his adventures in geology. The actual earthquake doesn't appear until late in the book and is only discussed in 1 or 2 chapters.

Also, the author tries to tie the earthquake to the beginning of the Pentecostal movement - which he clearly disdains.
